How to grab large web page?

Post by Stanley Hsu » Mon Nov 01, 2010 5:48 pm

:?: Some web page is larger than screen layout, so they add scroll bars to view the full page. Is there any command or tips that can grab the entire page into one single BMP file? Than I can use OCR to locate the specific command button on the page.

Thanks
I like reading technical books , papers, do some DIY stuffs like CNC and laser applications.

This method would be clumsy, as then you would need to still scroll the selected element into view to be able to "click" it using mouse commands.

Instead, use the WebRecorder plugin, or the free sample VBScript (found in this forum) to interact DIRECTLY with the browser.

Depending upon what webpage you are talking about, and what you want to accomplish, you might be able to do EVERYTHING using the HTTPRequest> command as well.

Posting your URL and exactly what you want to do will allow us to make much more specific recomendations and/or give you sample code to get you started.
